Great place, lots of information given in a very interesting way. The ride is extremely well thought out and the staff are friendly and on hand at all times with lots of information. We had difficulty booking online with our York pass so just went to the venue box office where a lovely lady took us in and sorted out a ticket for us, then insisted we go straight in instead of joining the que. We had a great time 😊

Very enjoyable and interesting. Well laid out and accessible. The queuing system was very organised and the staff were helpful and polite. Only criticisms are that there are not enough toilet facilities for the amount of people that are in there and the shop is very small so there is not a lot of room to maneuver, especially when you have a mobility aid.

Jorvik viking experience is well worth a visit. The staff are friendly and very informative. The ride was interesting with very realistic smells. We did this as part of a four attraction ticket which is better value for money.

My experience at Jorvik was mixed. The organisation of the queuing system was poor; we had pre booked tickets for a specified time slot, but when that time passed nobody seemed to know what was going on. When we finally got in (20 minutes late), the staff were friendly inside. While the ride was enjoyable, different to a lot of places I’ve been to, and provided a glimpse into Viking history, I found the depth of information to be lacking. Additionally, the gallery that followed was disappointingly small. Overall, I'd say it's not worth attending unless you have a genuine and very strong interest in Vikings.

Love this place. Great for all ages. My young child loved the archaeology talk at the beginning and playing on the interactive screens. The ride around the Viking village is spectacular and the smells are very realistic!

My first visit was in 1989!! The sounds and smells are as I remembered and quite an experience. Of course, the "train ride" has been muched improved since then. The exhibition itself is nicely done, staff very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Recommend pre-booking of tickets for a time slot which shortens the waiting time condiderably, I had to wait no time at all. The shop is small but nicely stocked. Thoroughly enjoyed myself again, as I did so many years ago.

Definitely worth a visit, the museum is so interesting, full of artifacts. My favourite bit was the ride around the Viking village, along with commentary. If you are a member of English Heritage you get 15% off admission.

We had a list of places to visit in York and this was one of them and we are so glad we did. We were really keen to find out more about the vikings and that also was one of the reasons to visit. We were not disappointed, the experience was far better than what we thought and it is a real asset to York. We learnt so much and the displays are fantastic. Our reservations were that it would be a bit tacky but definitely not the case. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

We went with a family including my 7yr old autistic nephew. We were in a long queue and my nephew wasn't coping. We mentioned this to the staff and they couldnt do enough for us. The man on reception said if you visit again and have any health problems, mention it to us and we will make sure your looked after. We were worried if my nephew would like it but its a quiet space and they manage the visitor numbers very well. My nephew said i love this and told everyone after that he was a viking. As for the rest of us, we love the viking centre. Its a brilliant visitor attraction. For anyone with an autistic child / adult i would 100% recommend. We will be visiting again. Thank you to all the staff who were working today. They were brilliant.

A very interesting museum with a unique touch! We really liked the set up of the museum and it made a change to walking round looking at exhibits! The tickets are valid for 12 months meaning free return at any time too, with blue light discount offered on top of this. Definitely worth a visit!
